Have there ever been studies linking the aluminum in antiperspirant to development of Alzheimers?

View on HN

See comments elsewhere, the amount of aluminum absorbed from antiperspirant is dwarfed by dietary aluminum intake.

...or even aluminum foil wrapping those delicious foods like stuffed potatoes?

Tinfoil for tinfoil heads leads to Alzheimers. What a conspiracy- the tinfoil industry was behind it all along.

Big Tinfoil teamed up with Big Pharma to keep Americans sick for profit. Unbelievable.

...or aluminum cans for drinks and tinned meat? although those seem to have other metal covering them on the inside.

Food/beverage cans are usually coated with BPA to prevent aluminum contamination.

Mmmmmm, yummy.

...Or aluminum in double-acting baking powders.

The other listed sources require leeching of already bound aluminum, but with baking soda, we are flat out eating 100% of it and it's already oxidized. Sodium aluminum phosphate is also used in cheese making.
